A tethered hot air balloon ride offers all the excitement and beauty of ballooning while remaining securely anchored to the ground, making it a unique attraction for festivals, corporate events, weddings, and community celebrations. Flights are available year-round, weather permitting, and are typically conducted within two hours of sunrise or sunset when conditions are calmest. Events usually last two to three hours and can accommodate 50–75 passengers per hour, with four to six people riding at a time.

The balloon generally rises between 25 and 75 feet, depending on conditions, and anyone in reasonable health who can climb in and out of the basket is welcome to participate. A clear launch area of at least 150' × 150' and three heavy vehicles or other sturdy anchor points are required for safe operation. Tethered balloon events start at $3,000.
